The Pro Bono Program got its start when Judge Joan Synenberg noticed that clients in the Recovery Court needed legal help with legal issues beyond their criminal charges. The Court hired a coordinator for the program through a grant from the Nord Family Foundation.
The program was honored by the Ohio Judicial Conference when it received the Ohio State Bar Association's 2019 Innovative Court Programs and Practices Award.
